the road ahead

you cannot see what’s ahead of you. you’ve gone too far to turn back...you also don’t know where you’re going. maybe this conjures a spark of fear because it’s uncertain, unclear, what you will face as you continue on.

then your mind takes over, disrupts your body’s peace, and questions begin. my loves, i challenge you. if you cannot turn around, you cannot stay where you are, and your only choice is to move forward—what does it matter where the road leads you? if you don’t know where you’re going, why does it matter so much where you end up?

the fear of your own judgement placed on yourself by yourself for not making a different choice when you see the outcome...when you didn’t have all the information you have now. you can only do with what you have and what you know in this very moment. each next moment absorbing information and making a myriad of decisions to carry you to the next moment. but you don’t have the future. you just have right now.

yes, it’s dark. yes, you’re alone. but that’s no different from what you already have. if you don’t know where you’re going, why does it matter where you’ll end up? our fear creates the shadows—the blind spots. so seek to be curious instead. curiosity breeds potential. it raises your eyes from the road beneath you to the horizon ahead. it helps your sight be inclusive of your feet on that path and stars in the sky. curiosity doesn’t throw caution to the wind or invite immediate chaos. it opens you up to the potential that what lies before you could be something grand. it helps you see that yes there are obstacles in your way, but the road still winds on into the distance.

by raising your head you can gain perspective—sight. it won’t change where you are standing now. it won’t change how you feel. but it can create the opportunity for change in your future. opening yourself to those possibilities sometimes creates a resistance, a hesitation, even more fear. but opening to possibilities doesn’t invalidate or devalue what you’re experiencing now. it invites the reality of duality. it invites inclusivity.

you can have BOTH the comforts of dark AND the movement from light.
